Abstract:This paper is aimed at assessing the impact of unintentional islanding operations (IOs) in the presence of large induction motors (IMs) within distribution networks (DNs). When a fault occurs, following the circuit breaker (CB) fault clearing, the IMs act transiently as generators, due to its inertia, until the CB reclosing takes place. The present work is the outcome of a project carried out in a small DN, where field measurements were recorded over two years. This paper provides a detailed description of the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
